3.10 Setup of hard drives other than Seagate Ultra SCSI models
♦ Generally speaking, the basic setup must be as following :
♦ Drive Termination Disable
♦ Termination Power from the SCSI bus
♦ Parity Enabled
♦ Write Protect (if any) Disabled
♦ Others jumpers or switches : default position should be OK
In order to get the best performance in video/audio recording DOREMI Labs has selected the Seagate
Ultra SCSI family because these drives offer the best performance currently available on the SCSI-2 bus
and are validated to support 4:1 compression with a single drive and the audio only insert capabilities.
Operation and performance with drives from other sources (Micropolis, IBM, Fujitsu...) must be checked
on the V1 by the user; DOREMI LABS in this case cannot guarantee the full operation or performance. In
case of technical problems, please inform DOREMI Labs with a full description of what has been noticed.
3.11 Notes on JAZ cartridges
Some precautions need to be followed with the JAZ cartridges :
♦ Eject them before any transportation or before switching off the V1
♦ Don't use them in case of condensing (Humidity going into water drops), this may produce error while
record or play !
In case of bad sectors on cartridges, you can test them with Win95 Surface Scan or any low level utility
software like FWB Hammer for Mac.
